Pianist Mitsuko Uchida has long been hailed for her interpretations of Mozart and Schubert. The exquisite poetry and mercurial energy of her refined playing are the ideal vehicles for Ravel’s beautiful Piano Concerto, full of jazzy wit and poignant introspection.

“The instrumentation [in Ravel’s Piano Concerto] reminds me of Mozart piano concertos, particularly the one in A major, K488. It has subtlety and depth. And the long, never-ending line in the slow movement is very Schubertesque.” – Mitsuko Uchida

SCO Principal Flute Alison Mitchell is the soloist in Boulez’s playful, colourful Mémoriale, and Robin Ticciati concludes his concert with Fauré’s moving Pelléas et Mélisande suite and the witty tick-tocking of Haydn’s joyful ‘Clock’ Symphony.
